This application is installed on the same server than the Nixxis Application Server and is (ONLY) fully compatible with Edge/Internet Explorer (minimum version 7.0). 

To access, we will use the same address (IP or hostname) than the Nixxis V3 (APP_SERVER). 

 

The standard port for CallScripter is 8080.  


10.1 CallScripter: First use 

Open Internet Explorer and enter in the URL bar ? http://<APP_SERVER>:<Port>. 


10.2  Add the site to the ie trusted sites 

CallScripter uses a lot of popup, but also JavaScript.  

This may cause some unexpected behaviour (popup blocked, etc …). To prevent this, we will add the CallScripter url to the trusted sites. 


Click No when the alert pops up: 



Go to the “Tools  Internet Options” menu. In the options window, go to the “Security” tab. 



Click on the “Trusted Sites” icon, and then click the “Sites” button. The following window appears: 



Like the server doesn’t use an SSL connection, please uncheck, if it’s not already done, the “https” option on the bottom left. Then click “Add”. Now Internet Explorer knows CallScripter is a trusted site. 

Click on “Close” to finish and then “Ok”. Now exit Internet Explorer, open it again and do the same thing (enter in the URL bar  http://<[APP_SERVER]>:<Port>) 


10.3  Compatibility mode in Internet Explorer
